"I will forever be a Laker fan. A huge part of my life is in Los Angeles, but more importantly a bigger part of my life is in West Virginia."

You don't understand how much that means to the residents of WV. Such a class act.

How does Kareem not have a statue anywhere? When you take into account high school and college he is undoubtedly the most accomplished basketball player ever

[32lakers44]

lmao even bill russell didnt want to be a celtic!

[baronvg]

Bill Russell, you should have demanded a trade then!!! LMAO!

[tom11zz884]

Will Kareem ever get a statue?...please give that man some respect.

[MrJamell21]

why is bill russell up there with all time los angeles fakers?

[tom11zz884]

@MrJamell21 Funny..lol

Though the faker comment was so untrue it is funny in itself...lol

[MrJamell21]

@tom11zz884 It's funny but by being anti-laker It's only right for me to say that.

@MrJamell21 he was one of jerry west's rivals i think

[PhillyDippy5]

@MrJamell21 I agree

[msinthrop]

He was and will forever be..The Man..The Logo...The Legend..and my boyhood/adult hero...

[ReekoChet]

They should've put a life size basketball court made of bronze next to Staples and in it the statues of all the Lakers who's jerseys were retired. It would be a great tourist and local favorite. It would be like how the ancient Romans displayed their Greatest Gladiators.

Proud of Jerry for his accomplishments and this great honor, but more proud that he hasn't forgotten where he came from. You represent us native West Virginians well, Mr. West, and for that I thank you.

Let's go Mountaineers!
